Jerry’s newly-engaged daughter volunteered to be the live donor, but her father was hesitant to put her through the surgery. She finally convinced him saying “Dad, no one is going to walk me down the aisle at my wedding but you.”

A little over a year after the successful surgeries, Jerry’s daughter got her wish. Her father walked her down the aisle to a room filled with tears of happiness.

UPMC is the only hospital in the region that performs living-donor liver transplants.
